This handbook features chapters by the world's foremost scholars in music education and cognition. It includes sections on arts advocacy, music and medicine, teacher education, and studio instruction, among other subjects. This new companion volume to the original Handbook of research on music teaching and learning explores the significant changes in music and arts education that have taken place in the last decade.
